TRIUMPH’s RIK EMMETT On Bands Who Use Backing Tracks During Live Performances: ‘We Live In A Different World Now’
Guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett of the legendary Canadian power trio TRIUMPH has weighed in on bands who rely heavily on pre-recorded tracks during their live performances. In recent years, more and more artists have been given a pass for using backing tracks, drum triggers and other assorted technology that makes concerts more synthetic but also more consistent. Speaking to The Metal Gods Meltdown about some rock acts’ reliance on pre-recorded tracks, Rik said (hear audio below): “We don’t live in the world that I grew up in; we live in a different world now. And certainly the whole advent of a digital universe has now firmly taken hold so that the idea of playing along with machines… “When I was a kid, it was really hard to find a drummer who could play in time and ...
IDLES Team With Michel Gondry for ‘Model Village’ Video
IDLES and Michel Gondry? You better believe it. Gondry, in case you forgot, has directed both videos (Daft Punk, Radiohead, The White Stripes) and films (including the mind-bending, Oscar-winning Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). So it’s fitting that he’d team up with the British rockers to produce a surreal clip for their latest single, “Model Village.” The dance-punk tune tackles small-town thinking. “I hated growing up in a city that was really a town that was really a fishbowl. I left as soon as I could, only to realize the fishbowl didn’t exist…just the fish, and they’re everywhere,” IDLES singer Joe Talbot said in a statement. “Michel’s work is handmade and it’s human and that’s something that our society pushes agains...

D.L. Hughley Says Kanye West Hides Behind Mental Illness When Slandering Black History, Compares Him To Donald Trump
Source: Michael S. Schwartz / Getty As painful as it is to admit, Kanye West is really out here acting like the ops and while some like Nick Cannon are completely cool with the bipolar Chicago rapper playing spoiler in the Presidential race to help Donald Trump steal another election, D.L. Hughley is peeping game and calling it out. During an interview with Chanel Omari for Fanroom Live, D.L. Hughley spoke on Kanye West dealing with mental illness, but wondered why it was mainly brought up whenever Yeezy would slander his own community while caping for Donald Trump. “There is no doubt that he suffers from some level of mental illness, but it isn’t why he’s misogynistic, it isn’t why he’s disrespectful to our history,” Hughley said. “Kanye West R...
